approach “Vectors” option assumes that you will
receive vectors to the final course segment of the

to intercept this final course).

or “Activate?” and press ENT. (“Load?” adds
the procedure to the flight plan without imme-
diately using it for navigation guidance. This
allows you to continue navigating the original
flight plan, but keeps the procedure available
on the Active Flight Plan Page for quick activa-
tion when needed.)
